This holiday season, how about you give the gift of a lifetime of whiskey knowledge?

We are selling a limited number of Whiskey 101 Gift Certificates ($30, available at the bar), each good for a future Whiskey 101 lesson at the bar. They make a perfect gift for new and seasoned whiskey connoisseurs alike. Supplies are limited, so come on by to pick up yours.

This year we are teaming up with some of our favorite North Portland educators to ensure local families don't go hungry during Thanksgiving. On Monday, November 24th we will be donating 10% of all sales to help feed 40-50 North Portland families this holiday season. Come on by to eat and drink for a good cause, and/or you can donate directly right here.

(I can't believe I couldn't find a way to insert a "drink Wild Turkey to help buy a wild turkey" joke in here somewhere.)

There is never enough whiskey, so we've added a few new bottles to our already massive collection. These include the Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, Michter's Toasted, private barrel Willet 10 Year Bourbon, Emerald 1865, and (Irish fans rejoice) the return of Green Spot.

In honor of yet another Portland Trail Blazers season, we are bringing back all your finest friends from childhood—Clyde the Glide, Uncle Cliffy, Duck, and many more.

During every single Blazers game this season (and, ahem, postseason) we will be pouring Rainier in our vast collection of vintage Rip City Blazers glasses of yore for $2. Yes, that's 20oz of beer, for $2. It's such a great deal that even the paper of record listed us as one of the best bars to watch Blazers games at.

Once again back is the incredible pub quiz like no other, O'Trivia Newton-John! The fun starts at 8pm tonight, so gather up a team of your smart-ish friends and we'll see you here for an evening of odd questions, drinking, and fabulous prizes.

Way, way, way, way back in 2011, we opened The Old Gold. It's crazy how the past three years have flown by, and we just wanted to extend a mighty THANK YOU to everyone that has come by and visited us. Here's to many more years of serving our neighborhood.

We regret to inform you that our November Whiskey 101 class has sold out. Thanks to everyone who signed up early to reserve a spot. And for those who didn't get in, the good news is that we'll announce another class very soon.
